Synopsis

This light-hearted film highlights the shallowness of seeking fame for fame's sake, but isn't too hard on its appealing heroine. Gladys Glover rents a Manhattan billboard with her name splashed across it, hoping to generate some publicity for her stalled modelling career. Wealthy businessman Evan is keen to have the advertising space for himself and pays Gladys enough money to rent billboards elsewhere. Within days, her image is all over town and celebrity life is thrust upon her.

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
